Allusions

add »
According to folklore, the Flying Dutchman is a ghost ship that can never go home, but must sail 'the seven seas' forever. The Flying Dutchman is usually spotted from afar, sometimes glowing with ghostly light. If she is hailed by another ship, her crew will often try to send messages to land, to people long since dead.
